* Effect of potentially dilutive securities would have been anti-dilutive,
accordingly, the amounts are excluded from shares used in computing diluted
earnings per share. Weighted average convertible preferred stock would have been
33 shares and common share equivalents outstanding would have been 346 shares.

Shares issuable from the convertible subordinated debentures were excluded from
the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have
been anti-dilutive.
